When it comes to combining size, speed and athleticism, few defensive ends around the country can compare with Cincinnati (Ohio) LaSalle's Ben Martin. That's why when the Rivals.com top 100 list is revealed next week, the 6-5, 227-pound Ohio product should see his name high on the list. There are a couple colleges that have already made the way to the top of his list.

Michigan offered the Cincinnati standout earlier this spring and have kept in close contact with Martin. Their recruiting efforts are led by offensive coordinator Mike DeBord.
